My Lit Candles

9. Her art glass makes it look nice

I'm color blind and have zero artistic talent, but I spent a few years hammering nails and cutting boards when I was younger. I had never done rock work or plastering, but thanks to the internet, I learned enough to get the job done.

Carol has made many beautiful glass projects (she taught herself). She likes to do it because she says she likes the thought of her art outliving her, and it takes her mind off the other woes of the world. She has given most of it away and has never sold a piece.



edit: After the chapel was finished, a lady from the tax appraisal office stopped by when she noticed it. I thought, "Okay, their gonna hit me for this, now." To my surprise, she asked if anyone could use the chapel. I told her yes, and she said, "I'm listing this as a storage building." It had no effect on my taxes. That is also why there is no electricity to the structure. But, I used extension cords for a couple of flood llights to illuminate it at night. It is so serene at night with the oil lamps burning and the art glass illuminated by the floods outside.
